This week’s episode featured the thematic elements of change, growth, and even a little coming of age. Ellie and Awesome learned they can’t be the couple they once were, Chuck and Morgan realized they need to be adults, at least a little, and even Casey realized he has more to care about than just himself but he also isn’t being utilized to his full potential in his current role. All of this comes packaged in a mission that may have introduced a new villain. This isn’t by far the best we’ve seen of Chuck but it’s a solid episode with some great laughs, especially in the beginning, and some poignant geeky moments too. This is the stuff of John Hughes with even more pop culture reference thrown in. Oh and Chuck even got one excellent flash sequence off a white horse! Good stuff!

I thought the best part of the episode was in the beginning when Chuck and Morgan were making their Valentine's Day arrangements with time tables and bear skin rugs. LOL. And Sarah's angel costume.
